Frequently asked questions.

How do I know if my roof is leaking?

A leak is usually noticeable through visible water stains on the ceiling or walls, mold growth, or dripping water. Also, check for damp spots on the floor or unusual water sounds.

What should I do in case of severe water damage?

In the case of severe damage, it’s crucial to act immediately. Move furniture and valuables out of harm’s way. Contact a professional roofer or damage specialist right away to assess and fix the situation.

Can I fix a leak myself?

For small leaks and temporary fixes, you can try sealing cracks or holes with waterproof tape or a repair kit. For larger or persistent leaks, it’s strongly recommended to call a professional to avoid further damage.

What are the costs to repair a leak?

Leak repair costs can vary depending on the severity of the issue and materials needed. It’s best to request a quote from a professional like DakXL for an accurate estimate.

How can I prevent future leaks?

Regular roof maintenance, such as inspecting roofing materials and cleaning gutters, helps prevent leaks. Make sure to promptly repair any cracks or holes to avoid further problems.
